London - If trekking the Great Wall of China or taking in the breathtaking views of the Grand Canyon make an appearance on your bucket list, you are not alone.
A new survey suggests that far from being couch potatoes as they are often portrayed, the British are really rather an adventurous bunch. At least in theory…
Figures from the CWM FX London Boat Show reveal that 40 percent of Brits dream of making a pilgrimage to the Great Wall of China, which stretches for an incredible 8 851km across the north of the country, while just over a third of people claim that visiting the Grand Canyon in Arizona, US, tops their list of dream destinations.
Trekking the famous Inca Trail in Peru to reach the 15th century ruins at Machu Picchu comes in at number three, with a quarter of people claiming it is their most aspirational adventure.
This is closely followed by 21 percent of Brits who say they dream of walking the length of the mighty River Nile.
And it appears that we’re a fearless lot, as well.
Around 17 percent of those polled said they dreamed of diving with great white sharks, and a further 15 percent are willing to risk life and limb (and maybe the odd finger tip) to climb to the summit of Mount Everest.
